Name: Brian Duffy

Age: 16

Coach: Holly Marzetti

Personal: : I have been racing in triathlons since I was 7 years old. I have participated in different distances over the years, but long distance triathlons are my favorite. The Emerald Coast Sprint Triathlon was my first sprint distance race; I was 12 years old. St. Anthony’s Triathlon was my first Olympic distance; I was 14. I have been swimming at Swim Atlanta John’s Creek for 7 years. I run cross country, swim, and run track for Lambert High School. I have been raising money, through racing, for ALS (Lou Gehrig’s Disease) since the 2005 race season. Raising money for ALS is a cause that is very near and dear to me, which is why, when I get the chance, I roll over the finish line at a triathlon.
